Gaming

Stoneshard. It was a kickstarter my Dad had backed before he passed away and it delivered afterwards, so I just tried picking it up to play and it's such a goddamn frustrating game. It's an open-world roguelike, fantasy RPG with tactical combat and retro-ish graphics that tries to simulate alot of different stuff, but it has such a goddamn high difficulty curve (for me at least) that I can barely make any headway with it. Just moving across the map to go to actual locations can be deadly as even an encounter with regular wolves or bandits can end up fatal or injures you so much that you have to go back to town. Saving isn't an option unless you're in town, you could die while traveling to a dungeon, boom, you lose everything since the last save. I'm used to playing difficult games, but this one I haven't been able to get into a good groove with it.
